What's Inside? That Counts: Cleaners

This past spring the David Suzuki Foundation invited Canadians to participate in a survey to reveal the toxic ingredients lurking in their home cleaning products.

Thanks to nearly 10,000 participants who opened their cupboards to us, proving information for more than 15,000 home cleaning products!

The results show that most Canadians have no idea what chemicals they're using to clean their homes on a daily basis. Only 42 per cent of cleaning products displayed a full list of ingredients to consumers.

We clean to keep our homes healthy. But some cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that have been linked to cancer, reproductive disorders, asthma and severe allergies.
